Top of The Rock

I visited Top of the Rock with a friend for the first time,🌅🌆🏙🌃🌌 and OMG it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we arrived, the excitement built as we made our way through the step-by-step process to reach the top. It’s worth noting that you should arrive 30-40 minutes earlier if you’re hoping to catch the sunset, as there’s a bit of waiting involved—but trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. Once we stepped out onto the observation deck, the views took our breath away. The 360-degree panorama of New York City is simply stunning. Seeing the Empire State Building, Central Park, and the sparkling city lights stretching endlessly in every direction was mesmerizing. Watching the sky change colors during sunset made it even more magical—something I’ll never forget. The space is well-organized, and the glass barriers make it easy to take incredible photos without anything getting in the way. Even with the crowd, it didn’t feel overwhelming because the experience was so awe-inspiring. If you’re visiting NYC, Top of the Rock is an absolute must-see. Take your time, soak in the views, and let yourself get lost in the beauty of the city—it’s a moment you’ll treasure forever!

Great views. I’d go straight to the upper deck to be honest because there is no glass barrier. Got in efficiently. Takes a little to get back down to main lobby but no problems. There was a gift shop and area to buy coffee and snacks. Did not try but seemed busy. Would recommend doing to see the city from Up top. No where else has the views with a glass wall - that is why I chose top of the rock instead of the other viewing decks in the city.

We visited at 6 PM to catch the nighttime views after seeing the city by day at the Empire State Building. It had a completely different vibe—lively, with bouncing music, but definitely more crowded. The views were absolutely spectacular, and the skyline looked stunning! The bar at the top with outdoor seating was a highlight—such a relaxed and cool atmosphere to take it all in. The only downside was the queue to get back down. With only one elevator in use, the wait felt quite long. Overall, a memorable experience with breathtaking views!

Amazing 🤩 I've been lucky enough to visit the Top of the rock twice. Once 10 years ago during the day and the views were beautiful and then once again 2024 at night and the skyline was incredible with the skyline lights and natural stars. There are a couple of floors to view the different areas of NYC. There is also a new attraction that lifts you up a little higher (additional cost) and also the famous bar to sit on. Before you enter the top of the rock, there is security to check bags and coats. A little cinema to watch the production then an inside viewing area. There is a new bar area too - overly priced but quite nice to say you've had a cocktail at the top of the rock overlooking the empire state building!! Would recommend getting advanced tickets (or use a city pass if staying in the city for longer) we went one night and there was no visibility and they gave us tickets for another day which was kind. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Toilets inside. Lifts available for accessibility.

Incredible Experience at Top of the Rock! The view from Top of the Rock is stunning! You can see the whole city, from Central Park to the Empire State Building. It’s a breathtaking sight. The staff is kind and helpful. A big thank you to Nankod, the security guard who guided me when I got lost. His kindness made my visit even better. If you’re in NYC, don’t miss this place!

Great views of Central Park and Empire State Building, especially from the 3rd observation deck on 70th Floor! We arrived and hour before sunset to soak up the views of the changing sky and lights - highly recommend! It was very busy to get downstairs when leaving, but staff was friendly and had it all well managed.

This here was one of the most amazing places i visited during our vacation in NYC. Everything was top-notch. I enjoyed every moment of it. The wait was not long, and the staff was very helpful, from the guy on the road to the security on top. This is another must do if you're not afraid of heights. It's worth every cent. I fully recommend doing this...

At my last visit I went first thing (literally the first in the elevator that day) and it was a serene experience. This time around we went for sunset - having bought the Express passes (worth it as you could jump the lines for the elevators on the way up and down) but it did feel crowded and a bit chaotic. The views were absolutely sensational though. A real treat to see this iconic city from up high.
